You can look forward to a comfortable night's sleep in one of the spacious studios or suites before waking to a free hot breakfast buffet. The ten-story hotel sports all the mod-cons like complimentary WiFi and flat-panel TVs, and don't forget your goggles for the heated indoor pool.

It could well be the riverside location that bags this hotel its top ratings. The indoor swimming, free breakfast and free high-speed internet most likely help, too. Evening cocktails and light fare are served in the lounge, while the more sporty types can pull on their sweat bands for the fitness room.

Culture vultures may love the Sixth Street, downtown location of the Renaissance Pittsburgh. Plenty of historic streets and spots will get you snapping that camera phone; meanwhile back at the hotel, magnificent architecture is coupled with luxuries including two full-service restaurants, valet parking and views of the river.

It was AWESOME! My daughter and I are avid Steelers fans. She of course is in love with Ben. Thought she was going to knock me over to get his picture haha. It was a great mother/daughter weekend. A wonderful experience. We look forward to going again!

Was unable to visit the inside as they were having a special event going on.
We had a fabulous time walking around the stadium and checking out the structure of the stadium and admiring those legends...

Hint of spice or eye-watering red curry? Nicky's cooks up curries, fragrant soups and rice dishes to give your night some extra kick. There's a patio garden for summer and you can bring your own drink for a surcharge of $5 per bottle.

Based just across the bridge, this Sixth Street brasserie raises a glass to the Whisky Rebellion and the city's cocktail-culture history. Find a heady mix of hand-crafted fresh drinks, served up with a menu that includes whisky-glazed salmon and mussels.

Any other important info the user should know?
